Have some goodfic!

I haven't read any of his stuff other than I Am Become Death yet, but if that and the TVTropes page are anything to go by, he's a pretty good writer who respects canon. And even if you're not into any of the fandoms he's written about, he can still help you regain some faith in humanity! You'll need it against the endless onslaught of cringe that is the Internet.

I don't really have any significant comments, but it's neat to see Ix helping Charlotte with the problems she's having with the switch to human form.

"Author."

That's a fourth-wall-break and a reference to hS's "Pancakes".

Because I'm not one by my own standards.

Drunk raid night! *cakefetti*

Happy birthday!

Have some Bleepka to go with whatever horrible fic you dig up next!

- Tomash

The Tale of the Three Beautiful Raptor Sisters and the Prince Who Was Made of Meat was plugged elsewhere on the 'net, and I liked the unusual narrative voice and the plot, so I figured I should plug it here too.

Anyway, have some google translate based humor:

Hey, I'm 21 now! Now I can have Bleepka when I see horrible fic!

Quartered by a cross sable with the Roman numeral XIII vert, Vairy argent and purpure, argent a crescent sable horns dexter, argent a pentacle sable, argent a Pokéball proper.

I've restructured the blazon to make it tidier; there's an assumed top-to-bottom, left-to-right reading order for shields, so we don't need to explicitly specify where everything is. I've also rendered the Pokeball proper, rather than specifying the colours. It comes out quite nicely, I think.

(Comments are in order, but not one-per-chapter. Very stream of consciousness, here!)

Legolas gets possessed by... THE SPIRIT OF PANCAKES. Oh noes!

Also, "once more"?

I am glad at least one character likes eating pancakes as well. ;)

Also: going to Mordor, with PANCAKES? Truly a terrifying plan...

Though I do hope you've gotten to have French Toast since writing this fic, if only for the variety.

And (spoilers) I do appreciate that the Ring of Adamant is the anti-pancake. X) And that the "Final" chapter is only 7 out of 50. Truly, this is a breakfast that can last for ages!

That might not have been true for a while, though.

There's no Plort RPing community out there that you're missing, though. It's all (mostly) on the Board.

Right... I don't know the heraldic speech so just plain English.

I'd like a pale blue background, and a snow leopard in the centre (if that's not too hard to draw. If it is, I'm fine with another Arctic mammal). And three small stars on top. Thank you!

Also, a quick question: is there actually any Plort roleplay ongoing elsewhere, or is it just on the Board?


Thanks again!

I'd actually completely forgotten about Kaitlyn's pen - yes, that is a Young Wizards reference. ^^

Kaitlyn of course keeps her fictionary on her phone. She just doesn't know the word. ^^

Yes, that's actually Selene's name - but not technically her full name. The full version is a couple of hundred items long, because vampires are weird like that.

(Specifically, Sel tends to add names when significant things happen to her, with their placement depending on how significant they are. There's a 'Davina' down around 50th place, for Dafydd, and a 'Narya' way down in the hundreds for Narto. Kaitlyn has not yet made it in.)

Oh, and since the link got stripped out on FF.net: What kind of maniac would write a story about pancakes? :D

It's just to do with what comprises the boundary between one side and the other: mainly, real time and not real time. For the branches, I was probably thinking of the Eastern and Western hemispheres, since the side of the prime meridian you're on also plays a part in determining who interacts on the Board and who interacts in chat. By the same token, could additionally refer to Eastern and Western US time zones, or whatever other east-west divide you like. But I'm not making a statement about where any PPC server space is located in the real world.

First things first: I don't know this canon either. |D But I have heard about it outside of the PPC, which can only be a good thing.

Thing the second: Kaitlyn's got quite a chair, there. I wonder if they do bar stools?

Third thing: Fictionaries! They're very useful for this sort of mission... even if the fic is nothing like the canon.

(And Kaitlyn's lines continue to be gold. "That was yesterday.")

Fourth/Fifth? Thing: And now another character loses a pen! /YW reference FTW

Sixth thing: I do hope Selene was going to say "... A POV intervention." XD (In terms of what Kaitlyn needs.)

Thing the seventh!: "Don't steal lines, you'll get us reported for plagiarism." Yeah, that WOULD be a pain. XD Very nice.

And I also very much liked Selene's "Full Name" - if that's actually her real name she's completely justified in any mortification she feels.

And (second-to-last thing!) I would read a fic about pancakes. Mostly because I enjoy eating them, but still. =P

LAST THING: I very much appreciate POV storytelling. That should be a thing in the next Badfic Games - whatever you're writing, you must present it in a way that keeps POVs interested.

Thank you for writing! =D

I don't know whether Nesh had something specific in mind for what Eastern and Western time actually meant. The Board is on the US Eastern Seaboard I think.

Jid'ryv and Jid'auks are GDrive and GDocs, ie the two names for Google Drive/Docs document storage. Jid'ryv is technically sharing a name with Godreve at this point, but that's fine.

(And... if you're putting references in, could you also try and keep the Glossary updated? I've been doing it as I go along.)

Also: thanks! It's a big job, I know that.

I’m currently trying to put the Reference lines into Info boxes on all pages relevant to the Tales of Hieronymus (to start somewhere). Since I’m prone to get the pronunciation wrong, I would like to have the following references confirmed:

Kattekri-tri – Category Tree?

Raeltym – Realtime? Wich would make
Auriantym – Eastern (oriental) time?^(*)
Auksidentym – Western (occidental) time?^(*)

Jid’ryv – (no idea)
Jid’auks – (again, no idea, and not actually relevant to the Tales of Hieronymus)


^(*) I further guess that one of these is Board time, while the other may be Wiki time, depending on where the Servers are located.

As a crucial heads-up: this is absolutely not a mission that requires a knowledge of the canon to read, because... well, I don't know the canon. ^_^ Huge thanks to Scapegrace for her help with this.

It's been over a year since I last finished a mission, and oddly enough the most difficult bit of this one was Agent Kaitlyn's Concrit. You'll see if you read it.

As with all PPC: Driftwood missions, this is a short piece - less than 3000 words. I hope you enjoy it!

All reviews, however long or short, however critical or not, are welcome, and per my standing promise, if you review my story, I'll review something of yours. If you have something specific you'd like comments on, drop a link in your review; otherwise I'll just try and find something.

Nis white, rena blood red: canta nastar alta cuna, luna moth; indil in back, circle in sky-blue.

Keeping the same colour scheme, and also keeping it fairly simple. There's room for another charge in the centre if you think of something. I considered extending the moth-tails until I could weave them together, but this version looks like they're flying over the full moon, so.
